Recently, many sellers have received notifications from Amazon to clear FBA inventory. In the reminder, Amazon stated that if the seller takes the initiative to remove excess inventory within a given time, Amazon will waive all related fees incurred in removing excess inventory. Some sellers do not know about this news and do not know what to do. In addition to the removal of stagnant inventory, sellers should also check their own inventory to see if there is a small amount of inventory that is damaged for various reasons and is in an unsaleable state. If so, the unsold quantity is small and the amount is low, and you also have the intention to dispose of it, then you might as well take this opportunity to dispose of it to save costs. So how does Amazon clear FBA inventory?
1. After the sale, it will be delivered to consumers through Amazon
Naturally, this is the way we look forward to most. After all, for any seller, shipping to the warehouse is expected to be sold and profitable. For the products sold, the seller does not need to do anything. Amazon has shipped the goods and loaned them to our account. If the customer is satisfied with the product after receiving the goods, the transaction is complete.
2. Due to multi-channel sales, sample delivery, replenishment and other reasons, sellers deliver goods to target customers by creating multi-channel delivery orders
Many sellers are operating other platforms while doing Amazon. Many platforms sell the same products, but other platforms are out of stock, or customers are eager to receive the goods. At this time, after receiving the customer’s order, the seller can ship to the customer by creating a multi-channel delivery order. Under this operation mode, the order created by the seller is the same as the order naturally generated for the Amazon system on the platform. The processing center will ship the goods as soon as possible according to the processing flow of the new order, and the time limit is also consistent with the order in the Amazon system. In this way, the relevant fees will be more expensive than the orders in the system. For specific rate comparison, sellers can check it in the background of the seller center.
3. When you are removed from the shelves due to infringement or quality problems, inventory processing
When your products are stored, there will be a small amount of damage. How to deal with these unsold products? When customers are dissatisfied with the goods after purchasing and receiving them, resulting in returns, the returns become unsold products. After your product is put on the shelf, it has not been sold for a long time due to wrong selection and has become stagnant inventory. How to deal with these inventories? In the face of this, we generally have to return the inventory.
Amazon clears FBA inventory. No matter which method you choose, Amazon will charge a corresponding return fee based on the quantity, weight, and size of the goods. However, this time Amazon has launched a free withdrawal service. If necessary, don’t miss it. Why did Amazon launch a limited-time free return service so early? During the peak season, a lot of stagnant inventory is piled up. This is a very concerned and inefficient thing. In order to promote sellers to deal with their own sluggish inventory and make room for the peak season in the second half of the year.
